2011 NFL Playoff predictions

I actually thought that Seattle had a very real chance of winning today. Shows what I know. Of course, I thought Atlanta was unbeatable through the NFC. So much for my plan to make a living betting on sports.

I was impressed how Baltimore protected their 21-7 half time lead yesterday.

Chicago looks pretty good as long as Cutler is on.

All the survivors seem to have a very good defense and not bad at offense either, as expected I suppose.

[chuck]

The idea that if the Texans "fix the defense" they will be a contender is ludicrous. The four final AFC teams are light years ahead of the Texans in virtually every way. Any one of those teams would embarrass the Texans in a playoff game.

[Nconroe]

Yep, our Oline is good till it faces one of the top defenses which is what wins in the playoffs.

[Nconroe]

well, home team only won two of the four games this weekend. or 3 of 8 games in playoffs up to now.

For Conference Championship weekend, next Sunday, Jan. 23 ,

we have two games:

NFC : Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears
and
AFC : NYC Jets at Pittsburg Steelers

I'll stick with just for fun choosing home team, but all should be good games as they were this weekend.

Then, Superbowl will be two weeks latter on Feb. 6

[Nconroe]

Ok, should be a good Super Bowl game with Green Bay and Pittsburgh.

I'll predict Packers win 24-21, not sure why, maybe cause they haven't won for 15 years or so.

My head says the Steelers, but my heart says Packers. I want Green Bay to forget about Farve and for Rogers to become the new hero in Green Bay.

Don't want to see Big Ben move up the ladder of Super Bowl QBs to 3 wins, not after this last off season.

Plus I want to see Dom Capers win.
